Galactic Outflows: Pushing the Distance Frontiers

该项目旨在推动我们对银河系外流的知识前沿：塑造星系形成和演化的关键物理过程。该项目利用包括新的备受瞩目的詹姆斯韦伯太空望远镜在内的尖端设施，预计将在遥远的过去建立第一张外流的整体照片，当时现代星系仍在形成。预期成果包括一个新的框架，用于测量流出的属性，和新的理解的物理学的遥远的流出。这项研究预计将通过加强澳大利亚与欧洲南方天文台1.22亿美元的伙伴关系的遗产，并将澳大利亚置于詹姆斯韦伯太空望远镜革命的最前沿，提供强大的利益。

This project aims to push the frontiers of our knowledge of galactic outflows: a key physical process shaping galaxy formation and evolution. Using cutting-edge facilities including the new, high-profile James Webb Space Telescope, this project expects to build the first holistic picture of outflows in the distant past, when present-day galaxies were still taking shape. Expected outcomes include a novel framework for measuring outflow properties, and new understanding of the physics of distant outflows. This research is expected to provide strong benefits by enhancing the legacy of Australia’s $122M partnership with the European Southern Observatory and placing Australia at the forefront of the James Webb Space Telescope revolution.
